For episode Number 23 I have the distinct pleasure of introducing a DJ who is sure to take this planet of ours into his grasp and squeeze until he gets what is needed, every last drop. Global domination plans of his aside, I present to you, the honorable and most esteemed, DJ Mint Pillow.
DJ Mint Pillow is from parts unknown, however if you are ever to come across his path, you’re most likely to find him:
A) Digging in a record store for hours looking through obscure dub, then tragically realizing he’s left the coffee pot on back at his apartment thus he trudges on out of the store, with his head down and a tune lost.
B) Drinking a Dos Equis in the late afternoon pondering the nights activities while doing a sodoku puzzle.
C) Reading John Updike.
D) Saying “ace” as a distinct sign of approval or appreciation for everything and anything.
E) Obsessively organizing his iTunes library while often going to Wikipedia to look up things such as “Post-rock”, “Dream Pop”, and “Bourbon Growl”.
F) Watching fútbol on the tele.
G) Having full conversations with his cat about morals and virtues.
H) Watching"The Big Lebowski"
As you can see DJ Mint Pillow is a beast unto himself, and a strong force to be reckoned with. Mint Pillow is most known for spinning an eclectic mix of Electronic, House, Dance, Italo Disco, and Indie Hip Hop.
Enjoy, DJ Mint Pillow, he’s ace.
